Uncle Nine

Chapter 249 Breaking into the Palace of the Regent

The quiet sky prison seems to be more comfortable and pleasant than the hustle and bustle outside.Xia Yu still didn't find the person she was waiting for, she sat there quietly, curled up slightly, looking at the sparse sunlight.

When Zhao Lu came, Dongfang Xu had already left, and he was relieved to be sure that she was fine.

"Third sister?" Zhao Lu entered the prison.

Xia Yu raised her tired eyes and glanced at him, then she smiled coldly, "Why did the elder brother come here? This is not the place where a king should come. Let's go, it's bad luck here."

"What about you?" Zhao Lu asked, "You could have retreated completely, but you insisted on staying here, shouldn't you come?"

"I'm different." Xia Yu took a deep breath, her long eyelashes half drooping, "This is my heart knot, I don't want to be like them, and dare not face it for the rest of my life. If I am like this, what is the difference from them?" What's more, she has a child herself, and there are some things she doesn't want to leave to the next generation.

Zhao Lu nodded, "Actually, when I came here, I went to Ci'an Palace." He couldn't find the slightest wave on her face, so he could only sigh slightly and continued, "The Ci'an Palace is deserted and deserted. , Since you left, the queen mother locked herself in the Buddhist hall, chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha day and night."

"She recited sutras and chanted Buddha for the sake of the princess's body, not for me." Xia Yu frowned slightly, "Brother, if you are really good for me, don't mention her anymore. I made it clear that day, I and She has nothing to do with her anymore. From the moment she killed me to save the princess, I owe her nothing, even my life. She is the empress dowager, not my mother."

Zhao Lu didn't speak any more, and really had nothing to say.

He had witnessed and experienced the situation that day with his own eyes.

"I—" Zhao Lu pursed his lips, "I want to say that there is another person who wants to see you. Originally, I didn't agree, but she begged hard, and I thought maybe you would also like to see me. This is the end of the matter, You probably don't want to get entangled anymore, there are some things that should be made clear, so let's make it clear!"

Xia Yu smiled wryly, "I know, let her in!"

Zhao Lu nodded, and there were faint footsteps outside, as if he was dragging his feet, walking very slowly.It can be seen that she has difficulty even walking.

It was Zhao Yan who came, Zhao Lu turned and left, "Just tell me, I will leave first."

Zhao Yan's complexion was as pale as paper, as if the flowers in the garden had been hit by frost and snow, and the decayed flowers had reached the end of their lives.Lanzhu helped her, and walked towards the cell step by step, waiting to enter the prison, and sat weakly on the stool, she leaned all her body weight on Lanzhu's body.

It seems that he is dying and cannot wait for time.

The room was silent, and Xia Yu didn't speak, but just stared at Zhao Yan at this moment coldly.It seems that since she met Zhao Yan, she has been ill, both good and bad.It's just that now, that thin face is becoming more and more haggard, showing a frightening gray color.

"I'm sorry." Zhao Yan said with difficulty, her forehead covered with thin sweat, "I know, no matter what I say now, it doesn't mean anything to you. But——in front of you, apart from these three words, I I don’t know how to express my apology.”

"You took my blood, and the disease seems to be getting worse." Xia Yu frowned.My own blood could cure all poisons earlier, why is Zhao Yan still like this now?
"The regent knew the truth, and he attacked the princess again." Lan Zhu choked up, looking at Xia Yu with some expectation.

Xia Yu sneered twice, "You didn't come to apologize, you came to beg me to save you. I might as well tell you that it's useless for you to find me if he didn't come. Besides, what you did to me Such a thing, you still expect me to save your life? If you are so kind-hearted, why didn't you save me back then? Zhao Yan, you can kill me for yourself, why should I save you?"

"Miss Xia, you are kind-hearted——"

Before Lan Zhu finished speaking, Xia Yu snorted coldly, "Who told you that I am kind-hearted? The ones who gave birth to me are more cruel than the other, and you still expect me to get out of the mud? A joke! You killed me once, and you want to kill me once?" Let me save you? Zhao Yan, where do you have the confidence and face to come here to find me? Let me tell you, even if he came today, I would not ask him to save you. Your retribution today is what you deserve Yes. This is called, Present World Report.”

Lanzhu plopped and knelt down to Xia Yu, "Miss Xia, please—"

"Please?" Xia Yu sighed softly, "I knew why I had to do it in the first place. It's useless to ask me. I'm neither a Buddha nor a Bodhisattva. I don't have the heart of a Bodhisattva. If I don't save those who hurt me, I won't be slapping myself in the face." ? Do you think your life is not long enough?"

Zhao Yan smiled, "Your tone of voice is very similar to theirs, you really deserve to be their daughter."

"You don't need to compliment me, it's useless to say nice things." Xia Yu dismissively.

"I'm about to die, why bother to compliment you, I'm just telling the truth." Zhao Yan trembled in pain, her face was beyond white, "I didn't come here to ask you for an antidote. I also know, With my current body, it is too late even if I get the antidote. I secretly heard what the imperial doctor and the queen mother said, and my time is approaching."

Xia Yu was silent.

"When a person is about to die, his words are also kind." Zhao Yan said very lightly, looking at her weakly and smiling, Xia Yu laughed so badly in her heart, "I came to tell you something, it is my love for you. I know that I shouldn't take your life lightly, just because I really want to live. Now I know that I was wrong and should not use your father's love for you to achieve the purpose of survival. "

"Xia Yu, you are lucky. Although your mother hated you and sent you out of the palace, because of this, you were lucky enough to escape. Otherwise, I would be your fate today."

"I have suffered more than ten years of pain for you, and I have enjoyed more than ten years of glory and wealth for you, but you know that I wish I could fly out of this prison with wings. When I know that I am your substitute , you know how much I want to change back. With a healthy body, it doesn’t matter if you exchange for a lifetime of bumps.”

Zhao Yan coughed lightly, staring straight at Xia Yu with her lifeless eyes, "The queen mother wants to use me to contain the regent, so I can't die. But now, nothing is left. Xia Yu, I envy you so much, I envy you for being so free, I envy you for your healthy body, and I envy you for being close to him. Do you know that I am actually your cousin, and my father—named Jia Dahai."

Eyelashes raised in amazement, Xia Yu's eyes widened in astonishment, and she stood up instantly, "What did you say? Say it again, what's your father's name?"

"My father, Jia Dahai, and your mother are brothers and sisters, but they're just half-brothers." Zhao Yan said weakly, and she had to rest for a while after saying a word, "Your mother is from the main family, but my father is just An illegitimate child that no one knows about."

"Isn't the surname Bo?" Xia Yu was puzzled, and her mind was a little confused.

How did Uncle Hai get involved with the Queen Mother?

"Our family's surname is Bo, but my father is an illegitimate child and follows his mother's surname." Zhao Yan smiled so sadly, "My father can't see the light, and now I can't see the light. You are right, this is really retribution To repay the Bo family's fickleness and ungratefulness, so the Bo family must cut off their children and grandchildren." Tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, and slowly fell, "Xia Yu, you are not the only one who suffers, and my mother and I are also having a hard time."

"Do you know how many lies it takes to lie to a person for more than ten years? I am always worried that the lie will be exposed one day. Once the lie is exposed, we don't know what the consequences will be. Many things, the original It's fate, and manpower can't change it."

"If I hadn't held back the Prince Regent's Palace for so many years, the person sitting in the ninth-fifth position would not be a member of the Zhao family."

Xia Yu lowered her eyes, "You mean, should I thank you together with Zhao Laojiu? Thank you for bearing the burden of humiliation for so many years, thank you and the Queen Mother for so many years, thank you for your cruelty? So, should I be damned? Should I be hated by my mother since I was born, because I deserve to die? Then you replaced me because I deserved it, and deserved to be the seed of the Eastern family?"

"What if my life is not big enough and I die outside? At this moment, who should you blame? You only see what I have, but never cherish what you have. You just want to go and deprive , but have you ever thought that what I hold in my hand today is all bought with my sincerity, and I have fought for it with my life."

"Aside from playing tricks and playing with people's hearts, what else do you have? You lose when you lose, and you win when you win. There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in a casino. You can't afford to lose, and you shouldn't have entered the water. Now, who is to blame? "

Zhao Yan was stunned on the spot by what she said, unable to utter a word.

Yes, I can't afford to lose.

"Let's go!" Xia Yu turned her back, "I don't know what you said, but it is still somewhat believable now. But even if you are Uncle Hai's daughter, to you all these years, he is only a child. Grace, no nurturing feelings. If you are not on the brink of death, you will recognize him? Uncle Hai’s future, I will take care of him in retirement, so you don’t need to worry about it. And you——I don’t want Uncle Hai to worry, since he knows your existence , and you should also understand that as a princess, you should have a place for a princess, and it is not something that a grassroots like him can control."

Zhao Yan burst into tears, "You're right, I really can't afford to lose. If I lose, I die. So I dare not lose, I can't lose, but why did I still lose in the end? I also want to treat people with sincerity , but this deep palace man, has there ever been a little sincerity? Between people, apart from benefits and utilization, what else is left?"

Xia Yu didn't speak, and didn't want to say any more.

"Miss Xia, look at Jia—"

"You didn't look at Uncle Hai's face back then, why should I look at his face now?" Before Lan Zhu finished speaking, Xia Yu retorted, "I said, if you give me a knife, I will pay you back. It's polite. You go, I'm tired. I received your apology, and I refused your plea. Those who can make things difficult for me are not good people, sorry!"

Zhao Yan nodded, "I know that's the result, but it's really comfortable to tell some secrets in my heart. This time, is it true to treat each other?"

Xia Yu looked at her and smiled lightly, "Barely counts."

"Thank you." Zhao Yan lowered her eyes.

Lan Zhu helped her up, and tried her best to walk outside.

"By the way, he—is he alright?" Zhao Yan looked back, looking quietly at Xia Yu.

"Will you feel sad if I say something bad?" Xia Yu asked.

Zhao Yan shook her head, "I've never met before, so why are you so sad. I just asked casually, I—" She smiled wryly, with a meaningful smile, "In fact, we are all orphans." After speaking, she was like when she came, Walking out step by step.

He walked very slowly, with heavy steps, as if he would fall to the ground at any time.

It wasn't until Zhao Yan walked out that Xia Yu closed her eyes and sat down slowly.

For the people of the previous generation, many grievances and grievances have long been beyond the comprehension and explanation of this generation.Everyone's thoughts and decisions at a specific time and place cannot be explained clearly now.

Perhaps it was a mistake in one thought, or maybe it was destined in the dark.

If Xia Yu hadn't left the palace back then, she wouldn't have so many good friends around her now, wouldn't have Zhao Laojiu, and wouldn't have a child in her belly.

So, there is a reason for God to make such a decision.

No one can take away what God wants to give you.

What you have in your bones is sometimes a gift from God.

Regent House.

Dongfang Qing rushed in with a volley leap, and her feet were fast. She was familiar with the arrangement of the hidden guards in the Prince Regent's Mansion, so she quietly avoided all the hidden guards and entered Dongfang Xu's room.

The room was empty, and Dongfang Xu was not there.

His brows were slightly lowered, and his sharp eyes quickly flicked around the room. Dongfang Qing strode forward and searched quickly.From the moment she came back, she heard about Dongfang Yue's disappearance.This matter is no small matter, whoever Dongfang Yue is, how could he be easily provoked.It is conceivable that there must be a conspiracy in it.

She thought, with Dongfang Xu's temperament, she had to get involved.

But if the adoptive father went crazy, the first thing Dongfang Xu should do was to get the seal of the regent king, and then control the entire marksman army.

Dongfang Xu is a man with bad intentions, Dongfang Qing will naturally not let him get the seal of the regent king, otherwise the world will be in chaos, and no one will be able to live a good life.Now that the news of Xia Yu's capture is posted at the gate of the city, if she gets the seal of the regent, she might be able to hand it over to Liang Yiru, and letting Liang Yiru send it to the emperor's palace can be regarded as an exchange.

Taking Xia Yu's life in exchange for the Sharpshooting Army would not have wasted years of hard work by his adoptive father.

With a sigh, commit a crime!

It's strange, I searched all over the room, but I couldn't find the seal of the regent king.Dongfang Qing seldom came to Dongfang Xu's room, so she hadn't been sure if there were any secret passages in this room.

Dongfang Xu seems to be a scholarly scholar, but in fact the city is extremely deep, and ordinary agencies secretly thought that he would not pay attention to it.

Suddenly, Dongfang Qing cast her eyes on the fish tank.

This fish tank - placed upright in the middle of the room, seems to be extremely cumbersome, but it happens to be Dongfang Xu's favorite.These fish are carefully raised by Dongfang Xu, little devils fed with human life.

"Could it be here?" After searching the inside and outside of the house, Dongfang Qing quickly walked towards the fish tank.

There was a sound outside the door, Dongfang Qing was stunned, came back so soon?

The moment the door opened, she was like a swimming dragon, flying onto the beam of the house, pressed her slender body against the beam, and held her breath.

Dongfang Xu is back.

Dongfang Xu's martial arts are superior to Dongfang Qing's, but if there is any movement on the beams, he can clearly feel it.

"Son—"

Before Guan Yun could speak, Dongfang Xu had already raised his hand to signal him not to speak.His own room, of course, is the most familiar.Familiar furnishings, familiar smells, and—the restless fish swimming back and forth in the fish tank.

Walking slowly in the house, her sharp eyes quickly scanned everything around her.

The white-clothed scholar, still smiling, stroked the white ribbon on his shoulders gently with his slender fingertips, "It's already here, what are you doing in hiding?"

The moment the sound fell, Yun Guan quickly drew his sword, but saw a black shadow approaching his eyes like lightning, and there was a piercing pain on his wrist, the sword was sheathed, and the black shadow quickly moved towards the door.

Dongfang Xu flicked his sleeves and closed the door, and he was close to Dongfang Qing in an instant.

The shoulders sank suddenly, and Dongfang Qing's eyes widened in amazement, she kicked the door with her toes, and threw away Dongfang Xu's clasped shoulders with a beautiful backflip.Spinning under the feet, twisting and turning three times, looking at each other in blank dismay.

There was a slight pain on the shoulder, for some reason, the arrow wound did not feel such pain before, but now it hurts so badly, a chill rose up on the back.

"Qing'er?" Dongfang Xu naturally recognized Dongfang Qing's skills, they were all taught by Dongfang Yue, and they knew each other well.

"Dongfang Xu, what did you do to foster father?" Dongfang Qing sneered, dressed in black neatly.

Dongfang Xu sneered, "Qing'er, what you said is really funny. My adoptive father's martial arts are so high, let alone me, even if you and I add up, they may not be his opponent. What can I do to him? What else can I do?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Dongfang Qing gritted her teeth, "You treat me as a three-year-old child, so easy to deceive? How could the adoptive father go crazy and disappear without you? If you didn't intervene, I wouldn't believe it even if I was killed. Is it like this? Let’s take a step back and say, the adoptive father is missing, why don’t you pay attention? Let me ask you, where is the adoptive father now?”

"The world is so big, how do I know where he is?" Dongfang Xu smiled softly, "Besides, you have said that, can you still expect me to find the whereabouts of the foster father? I might as well tell you that he is missing, we I can't wish for it." Opening his arms, a sense of relief gradually appeared on Dongfang Xu's face, "You might as well open your eyes and see that the current Prince Regent's Mansion is mine. I would be so stupid as to find my adoptive father return?"

He smiled bitterly, "You have found your adoptive father, and you want me to be a pig instead of a dog? Qing'er, are you too stupid? You must not only come here to find the whereabouts of your adoptive father, right?"

Dongfang Qing raised her eyebrows coldly, "Hmph, Dongfang Xu, foster father will not let you go."

"Huh? Let it go? When will he let me go?" Dongfang Xu's expression was artificial and frightened, "I'm so scared, Qing'er—will you help elder brother? We are half of us in the Prince Regent's House." , brother and sister fight together, what's wrong?"

"You're crazy and I'm not crazy, that's the difference!" Dongfang Qing sneered twice, "Dongfang Xu, people's hearts are not enough to swallow an elephant, don't forget that the oriole is behind." After speaking, she took a deep breath, "Let Come on, let me go."

Dongfang Xu opened the door and smiled slightly, "Want to leave? It's easy, let's go! This Prince Regent's Mansion is also your home, you can come and leave whenever you want, and naturally I won't stop you."

Dongfang Qing turned pale, gritted her teeth and walked out.

When he reached the door, he looked back at Dongfang Xu who was smiling triumphantly, and flew away with a cold snort.

"My lord, let her go like this?" Yun Guan was stunned.

"She was hit by a trick, and she can't go far." Dongfang Xu flicked his sleeves, looked at his fish tank with satisfaction, and gently circled the mouth of the fish tank with his fingertips, "Besides, since she is back, Liang Yiru must be back too .You go to the Shen residence and tell Shen Hao. Once Liang Yiru enters the palace, Shen Hao will die."

Official Yun bowed his head and assassinated the emperor's imperial envoy. Shen Hao was really looking for death.

So as long as Shen Hao knew that Liang Yiru could not escape compared to Dongfang Xu's attack.

Entering the capital is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and it will be difficult to get out.

The sunshine outside was very good, Dongfang Xu smiled, full of complacency.Liang Yiru came back, and it seemed that he had an extra chance of winning against Xia Yu.And that Dongfang Qing still lost a little bit after all, it seems that everyone's only failure is sentimentality.

Since ancient times, there has been passion and hatred, nothing more than that.

Dongfang Qing knew that he had received Dongfang Xu's palm style, which was absolutely extraordinary, and it was definitely not taught by Dongfang Yue, so he didn't dare to go too far.Seeing that there was no one chasing after him, he quietly turned the road and went to a small courtyard.

There were people guarding outside Shaofu's mansion, Liang Yiru couldn't go back for the time being, so he hid in this private house.

This was the small courtyard where Liang Yiru lived earlier, but it was the courtyard before he became Shao Fu, so it didn't attract much attention.

As soon as he entered the door, a mouthful of black blood crawled out of Dongfang Qing's mouth.

Liang Yiru was walking into the yard, and it looked like he was about to go out. Seeing Dongfang Qing's appearance at first glance, he walked over in three steps at a time, "What's wrong with you? Who hurt you?"

Dongfang Qing's face turned pale, and her shoulders hurt badly, "Dongfang Xu's palm wind is poisonous."

"Dongfang Xu?" Liang Yiru quickly helped Dongfang Qing into the door, "How can I help you?"

"Go fetch a basin of clean water." Dongfang Qing gritted her teeth, sat on the edge of the bed, and leaned weakly against the bedpost.

Liang Yiru hurried out to fetch water.

Dongfang Qing took a deep breath, opened her clothes, her shoulders were swollen with blood, and there was a faint black air, "It's such a vicious palm style, how dare you practice poisonous palm without telling your adoptive father."

Pain, piercing pain.

This is by no means an ordinary poisonous exercise. The poison used in practicing the exercise must be extremely poisonous.

Liang Yiru was slightly taken aback when he entered the door, only to see Dongfang Qing baring his left shoulder, holding a short blade in his right hand, and putting the short blade on the candle flame to burn it repeatedly.His brows were slightly frowned, this was the second time he had seen the fair-skinned daughter's body.

That's all--he sighed softly, and put Qing Shui on the table, "What should I do?"

This time is different from last time, Liang Yiru doesn't know martial arts but it can be seen that Dongfang Qing has been poisoned.The dark patch on this shoulder must be Dongfang Xu's evil deed.

Dongfang Qing took out a small porcelain bottle from her waist, "Take out two medicines, put one in the water, and I'll take the other. You will wipe the blood for me later until the blood turns black and red. Don't worry about it. You just treat me as a man, or as Xia Yu. If you don’t force the poison out, my left shoulder and left arm will be useless.”

Liang Yiru frowned tightly, and finally nodded.

The blade, which was reddish from the fire, cut the flesh of the shoulder.When the blade touched the blood, it made a "sizzling" sound, and a white mist rose.Dongfang Qing bit the towel tightly, her beautiful eyes were bloodshot, and her whole body trembled violently.

Black blood rolled down her shoulders.
